This beautiful hardwood cottage in the historic, National Trust listed town of Central Tilba has been sympathetically restored, in accordance with the Heritage Development Control Plan (DCP) to now proudly be the finest example of its type in the district. Central Tilba is perfectly located on the NSW South Coast, mid-way between Narooma and Bermagui and is a rare surviving example of Colonial history. Tilba's elevated position affords it a temperate climate with Summer sea breezes and mild Winters. Surrounded by National Parks its just a few minutes to the beach, 3 hours to Canberra and 5 hours to Sydney. Dotted with charming colonial timber cottages, Tilba District's two villages - Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba, provide a surprisingly exciting combination of boutique shops & galleries, a charming array of accommodation options, regional fare and magnificent views. 10 Bate St sits prominently in the centre of the village, on the high side of the street and currently houses a successful womenswear boutique which is offered as part of the sale, if desired. The cottage had 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are now used as the shop but can be reconfigured easily to provide 1 or 2 more bedrooms. The profitable business generates a handsome income, capable of supporting one or two people. There are virtually no outgoings. Having been re-wired, re-plumbed, with a new roof, kitchen, bathroom, garage and studio there is ample space for a creative work space or a guest room. A short stroll to the Post Office, pub, cafes and National Parks makes this a wonderful lifestyle choice for those seeking a social existence with the ability to enjoy the tranquility and privacy of the back yard with views of Mt Gulaga.
